What Pollinates Gala, and What Cannot

What Pollinates Gala, and What Cannot

Gala needs a second variety such as Fuji or Granny Smith blooming nearby, since Mutsu flowers at the same time but cannot fertilize it.

What Pollinates Fuji, and What Cannot

What Pollinates Fuji, and What Cannot

Fuji needs a second apple variety in bloom at the same time, and one common partner, Mutsu, cannot actually pollinate it.

What Pollinates Fortune, and What Cannot

What Pollinates Fortune, and What Cannot

Fortune apples need a mid-season pollinator, but USU Extension has not published a specific partner list, so use bloom timing and proximity as your guide.

What Pollinates Empire, and What Cannot

What Pollinates Empire, and What Cannot

Empire’s pollination partners aren’t published by USU Extension, but its Mid bloom season tells you exactly what a compatible second tree needs to do.

What Pollinates Earligold, and What Cannot

What Pollinates Earligold, and What Cannot

Earligold blooms mid-season according to USU Extension, but no confirmed pollination partner is published, so pick another mid-blooming apple and watch fruit set.

What Pollinates Dorsett Golden, and What Cannot

What Pollinates Dorsett Golden, and What Cannot

Dorsett Golden apple trees need a same-bloom-group partner like Anna nearby to set fruit reliably in most gardens.

What Pollinates Crimson Crisp, and What Cannot

What Pollinates Crimson Crisp, and What Cannot

Crimson Crisp’s pollination partners are not documented by USU Extension. Here is what bloom timing, distance, and pollen fertility actually determine for this apple.

What Pollinates Candy Crisp, and What Cannot

What Pollinates Candy Crisp, and What Cannot

Candy Crisp’s bloom season is mid, per USU Extension, but the extension does not publish a confirmed pollinator list, so growers need to pick a same-season partner carefully.

What Pollinates Braeburn, and What Cannot

What Pollinates Braeburn, and What Cannot

Braeburn needs another early-blooming apple tree nearby, since USU’s guide gives its bloom timing but names no specific partner variety.

What Pollinates Arkansas Black, and What Cannot

What Pollinates Arkansas Black, and What Cannot

Arkansas Black apple pollination explained: which four varieties provide fertile pollen, and why Jonagold and Stayman flower alongside it but never pollinate it.
